Founding member – Jess Lowrie making history as she celebrates her 90th

It was with great pride that Jess celebrated her 90th birthday on the 21st February and followed with a big birthday bash on the 22nd. With family and many old school friends, friends and members of the various organisations she has belonged to along that period of time.

We must thank Jess, as a founding member of the Geraldton Family History Society, for her enthusiasm throughout the years. Her love of history has been spread over to many, many members who have passed through meetings held along that time. The local knowledge she has on the Geraldton and the Midwest is still vivid in Jess’ memory and the stories keep coming.
